holoCOMPASS

A patent-pending hologram feature designed for one job: letting anyone confirm a hologram is genuine with their eyes alone — no reader, no app, no training.

PATENT PENDING
About

Turn a holoCOMPASS hologram in any direction and every element on it rotates along with your movement — every element except one. The COMPASS feature itself stays fixed in place, exactly like the needle on a magnetic compass, no matter which way the rest of the image turns.

That fixed-needle effect is the entire point. Most people genuinely can't tell a convincing fake hologram from a real one just by looking — holoCOMPASS gives them a single, unmistakable thing to check instead: does one part of the image refuse to move? Any simple design element can be used to achieve the effect, so it drops into an existing brand mark rather than replacing it.

The fixed compass needle sits alongside a holographic QR panel on the same device.

Features

Eye-only verification

No reader, app or training required — the fixed-needle effect is designed to be checked with nothing but a glance.

Patent pending

A proprietary Holoptica feature, not a generic OVD effect available from any hologram manufacturer.

Works with any design

Any simple design element can be used to achieve the COMPASS effect, so it sits naturally inside an existing brand mark or logo.

See it move — or rather, see it not move

The effect is much easier to understand in motion than in a photo.
